Caroline, I stand to be corrected but I do not think so. I have not come across such a function. However, I believe there is a message box available in the download section which I think comes with source code. Its not a difficult thing to program your own custom message box if you had to I suppose.

>Jos thanks for that, I guess there is no way to tell VF to use no sound is there?

>>Caroline, one option is under Windows Start - Settings - Control Panel find the Sounds icon and switch off the default sounds for Critical Stop, Exclamation, etc. MB takes its sounds from the currently active sound scheme.
